          This is a distribution of the TPC-W Benchmark <a href="http://www.ece.wisc.edu/~pharm/tpcw.shtml">Java Implementation</a> originated of PHARM at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. It includes some changes to make adapting to different databases and servlet containers easier (see <a href="http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~manjhi/tpcw.html">Running TPC-W on Tomcat</a>).<br>
For more background information to understand the TPC-W benchmark have a look at the original <a href="http://www.tpc.org/tpcw/default.asp">TPC-W hompage</a> or other resources listed in the <a href="links.html">links</a>.

          Basically, this distribution consists of a <code>build.xml</code> for Ant to control building and installing the benchmark. All SQL statements have been extracted into a property file, so they can be changed without messing with the source code. Additionally, all settings for the servlets, RBE and database can be made via properties.<br>
Database generation and image population can also be started with Ant, but an up-to-date checking is missing.
